Abstract/Contents: | Discusses nitrogen requirements for turfgrass, and states that "the chemical properties of the N carrier(s) in a fertilizer influence how, and the rate at which, N is released." Details highly water-soluble N carriers and extended-release N carriers, focusing on their mechanism of release, nitrogen type, and rates of release, among other qualities. Includes information regarding the physical properties of nitrogen carriers, mentioning size guide number, uniformity index, and a granule segregation test. Concludes that "by evaluating each N carrier used in the fertilization program in addition to the overall turfgrass quality and field performance from one year to the next, sports turf managers can make sure that they are getting the most from their granular N fertilizers." |
